Super Bowl (blah, blah, blah.) (1)

It has
come to my attention that a game with the confusing name of “American Football”
is gaining some popularity in our belovedand God-favoured England. It is a sign of our modern decadence.

This game may well be American. It is most certainly not football:
that skillful and glorious sport which was birthed by decent Englishmen on our
noble English shores.

In my day
we engaged in the manly activities of Association Football, Rugby Football, Fox
hunting, Hare coursing and Butler baiting.Those superb English pastimes led to the creation of the typical English
value of fairness. They made us great.

The
introduction of this so called “American Football” will lead to a decline in
our morals, and a devaluation of all that is good and valuable in the English heritage
of morality, deference to our "betters" and respect for middle class values.

True
Englishmen will resist this with all their might. When their country calls them
they will rise to its defence.

With the
deepest loyalty to this blessed plot, this earth,
this realm, this England
